HKTDC Food Expo

Hong Kong Food Expo

Hong Kong Food Expo is the leading part of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the international marketing arm for Hong Kong-based traders, manufacturers and service providers. It showcases all kinds of food processing and packaging machines, materials, systems and products under one roof.

The fair is designed to meet the needs of different participants by dividing into two main sections: the Trade Hall and the Public Hall.

The Trade Hall is the place for international food retailers, suppliers, wholesalers, agencies and brokers to connect with trade buyers for valuable business opportunities. The Trade Hall is covered by group pavilions, featuring pavilions from Brunei, Iran, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Philippines and the US. The Chinese mainland was well represented, with new participations from Hubei, Hunan, Jilin and Shandong provinces.

The Food Expo attracts more than 390,000 visitors to the Public Hall, and it is a tremendous boast to the participating companies. These companies successfully increase their exposure, promote greater brand awareness, and receive immediate feedbacks on their latest food products. The Premium Food Zone is a special highlight in the Public Hall, in which over 30 premium exhibitors promote their branded food and beverage products and display their specialties.

One of the special highlights of the expo is the Gourmet Zone. This section is for luxury food items and it features the best of cuisines from various countries and regions.

The expo is packed with activities catered to both trade visitors and members of the public. Through interactive and educational cooking demonstrations by star chefs, the public learns the ways how food can be enjoyed. They can also take part in discussions with well-known food critics, games and lucky draws, while trade participants can find out more about the latest topical issues in seminars delivered by industry experts.

There is plenty of opportunity for business expansion in related areas through the concurrent fairs – the HKTDC Hong Kong International Tea Fair and International Conference & Exhibition of the Modernization of Chinese Medicine & Health Products (ICMCM).
